→Scoring
Your first column total is added to your points in the second column to calculate your grand total for each game.
Occasionally, you may roll more than one Yahtzee in a game. If so, and if you already have 50 points in the Yahtzee category, the computer automatically adds 100 points to your "Yahtzee" total. Then, if you have not already done so, you must also enter the total of the five die in the category corresponding to the die value in the first column. If you have already entered points in that category. you can enter points as Three of a Kind, Four of a Kind, Full House. Small Straight, Large Straight, or Chance in the second column.
====Scoring Strategy====
As you play Yahtzee, you'll realize that you don't always roll what you
need, even with three tries. When this happens. you must still enter a
score. However, some scoring strategy may help you win the game.
On the scoreboard one category is labeled "Chance." If, after the third
roll, you don't have a combination you want to enter in a specific
category, simply move the cursor to "Chance" and press ENTER. As an
alternative, if you roll one or two ones, you could count that as your
score for ones, saving the larger values to try to score enough points for
the 35-point bonus.
Even with "Chance" and "Ones," you might still receive another roll
which you cannot use. If so, you must enter a zero in one of the scoring
categories. Some common places for entering a zero are "Yahtzee" and
"Four of a Kind." Once a zero is entered, however, it cannot be
changed.
Many rolls of the dice can be entered in more than one category. Both a
"Four of a Kind" and a "Full House" roll can be scored as "Three of a
Kind" or as the die value in the first column. Also a "Large Straight"
can be counted as a "Small Straight" instead. The more you play
Yahtzee, the more your scoring strategy should improve.
END OF THE GAME
When the scoreboard is completed (after 13 rounds). the game is over.
The computer flashes a red box around the winning score and plays a
victory tune.
You are then asked if you want to replay the game. Press REDO to play
again with the same options. To choose new options. press BACK and
the player selection display appears.
When you have finished playing Yahtzee, press QUIT to return to the
master title screen.
